{"product_id":"9781786499783","title":"Why the Germans Do it Better: Notes from a Grown-Up Country","description":"Emerging from a collection of city states 150 years ago, no other country has had as turbulent a history as Germany or enjoyed so much prosperity in such a short time frame. Today, as much of the world succumbs to authoritarianism and democracy is undermined from its heart, Germany stands as a bulwark for decency and stability.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMixing personal journey and anecdote with compelling empirical evidence, this is a critical and entertaining exploration of the country many in the West still love to hate. Raising important questions for our post-Brexit landscape, Kampfner asks why, despite its faults, Germany has become a model for others to emulate, while Britain fails to tackle contemporary challenges. Part memoir, part history, part travelogue, Why the Germans Do It Better is a rich and witty portrait of an eternally fascinating country.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42547544227901,"sku":"9781786499783","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781786499783_p0.jpg?v=1771564199","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.mom\/products\/9781786499783","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
